Item 4.01. Changes in Registrants Certifying Accountant.
On May 26th, 2021 (the Dismissal Date), the Board of Directors of Brightlane Corp. (the Company) dismissed Prager Metis CPAs LLC (Prager Metis) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately. The reports of Prager Metis CPAs LLC on the Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the year ended December 31, 2018 and through the Dismissal Date, there were (i) no disagreements between the Company and Prager Metis on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Prager Metis, would have caused Prager Metis to make reference thereto in their report on the consolidated financial statement for such year, and (ii) no reportable events as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
The Company provided Prager Metis with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that Prager Metis CPAs LLC furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Prager Metis agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter, dated June 15, 2021, is attached as Exhibit 16.1.
[(b) Contemporaneous with the dismissal of Prager Metis, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged BFBorgers CPA PC (BF Borgers) to serve as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018, effective as of the Dismissal Date. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and through the Dismissal Date, the Company has not consulted with BFBorgers regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Companys consolidated financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that BFBorgers concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.]
